I hated bream for over 30 years. Then one day I had 15 in an Irish lough and realised that not all bream are equal. The Irish ones fought like tench. Nothing like the lifeless slabs I'd had in Yorkshire and Linc's. If I lived in Ireland I'd fish for tench in summer, bream in autumn and pike the rest of the year. Maybe a bit of trouting too.
At 36,000 acre lake sounds fearsome, but just split it up into little sections dependent on the weather and season. Look for bays, coves, shallows, deeps and other features then try each one at the right time. Invest in a cheap Chinese fish finder and
